The Uses OF a Friend.

Thackeray asks In one Of his letters:
@Why do I trouble you with all these
perplexities? If I mayn't tell you of
what I feel, what is the use of q
friend ?"
Certainly, Thackeray, old boy, you're
right. What is the use of friend If
you can't tell him all about your Ills
how you had the toothache Monday and
suffered an attack of the rheumatism
Tuesday. and was down with the plum
bago Wednesday, and had an attack of
the blues Thursday, and wasn't feeling
very well the rest of the week. One
wouldn't do this to an enemy, of course
not. It would be degree of cruelty
that you would not think of employing
in moments of direst animosity. But
with a friend it is different. A man
often pours into the ear of q patient
friend story of petty worries and per-.
plexities that would make him Stunned
forever after by any one less devoted,
and the patient friend often tries in
vain to escape. Unless he has an ac-
emulation of miseries of his own that
he is waiting to.s.unload in his turn,
whats the use of a friend. unless You
can use him 2" is q maxim that is lived
up to in more ways than Texas

The arrival of new boy in the little
village of Greenesborough, Greene
County, Pennsylvania, on the SOth Of
July, 1874, interested me about as little
as any event that ever occurred on the
banks of the Monongahela. Other vii
layers came to inquire after the boy
and his pretty mother; they decided
whom the baby looked like, and what
his name should be; they dandlcd him
and guessed at his weight; they petted
and praised him and loved him. Butt
and the baby didn't seem to get on.
